With Mondo Enduro all we wanted to do was make the film that we wish we had seen when we were younger, because then we wouldn’t have waited until we were 29 to make it happen. We’d have done it sooner. From the get-go we felt we’d discovered something special and we wanted to share it, and then the big adventure bike thing came along and it was hea...
In a way, yes. They (Ewan and Charlie) kind of defined what is an adventure trip. Because their reach was so great. I get upset that the template, the basic template, especially when you’re talking to people that aren’t involved in motorcycling and who saw it on telly, is one of big bikes, big budgets, well beyond the reach of the everyday man. Whi...
I object to the fact that the completely normal exercise that we undertook is now being regarded as a benchmark of recklessness, dangerous, not accessible, not viable. It’s hopeless to me if someone watches Mondo Enduro and then thinks they could never do it or shouldn’t do it. I get incredibly depressed when people come up to me and say ‘Hi, I’ve ...
I guess in a way I want to change the mainstream. I want those who don’t think in a certain way to start thinking in a certain different way. But it’s bigger than that. When you have the careers tables at school and they have banking, construction, medicine, you’re meant to choose one and stick with it and there isn’t a table marked ‘everything’ el...
To be honest, I’m now laid back enough to realise that the stone I throw into the pond can only ripple so far, and the fact that anything with Charlie and Ewan in will always eclipse anything that I have ever done. I simply can’t compete.
I’ll tell you why it matters, because there’s going to be some guy or girl out there who is dissuaded from riding bikes because of the prevailing attitude of ‘big is best.’ If I had a nickel for every woman who emailed and said I’ve just heard about you or read your book and I want to take a Serow on a trip across America but my husband’s friends a...
Not so much a burden, but I never wanted to become a motorcycle ‘personality’. Pre Long Way Round I was just an ordinary school teacher, then as the years passed after it and what I perceived had been enormous damage had been done to the thing that I most cherished. It sounds a bit weird but I was so distressed by what I saw happening and the way i...
Because nobody had asked me too, more importantly I didn’t think I needed to say anything because it was all obvious.
No, I’ve got less money that I had before. I gave up a £46K a year job and I earned £4k last year. It’s killing me. But I couldn’t just sit back and go, ‘Oh well that’s showbiz and that’s the way of the world.’ I couldn’t see it (adventure motorcycling) being pushed in such an unhealthy direction. I think their success was inevitable. Sadly, the im...
I think so. It would definitely not have upset anyone; they would definitely not have become figures of ridicule. There would definitely not be a counter movement to that. Do you see this as a counter movement? Totally, which crucially didn’t need to exist until the Long Way Round. Because there was no ‘Witch of the North’ to fight, sort of thing.
Born Oct 1965 almost exactly simultaneous with the release of Thunderball and For A Few Dollars More. Things were looking good already. Youngest of six children, four girls, Gerald and Austin. Went to a humble prep school made from a converted house in central Harrow.

If you are reading this then you probably know my name or are a bewildered WWF fan searching for the latest news from Texan wrestling muscle-box Vince Austin. It’s hard to pin down what it is exactly I do….
Jun 8, 2021 · Having completed two unsupported overland missions to Magadan, ABR and Maths teacher Austin Vince is here to spread the good word of motorcycle travel: anyone can do an RTW – so what are you waiting for?
3 days ago · Austin Vince is best-known for his adventure travel films (Mondo Enduro, Terra Circa, Mondo Sahara). After riding madly off in all directions on dodgy small-bore dual sports with his chums, he settled down (sort of) to life as a teacher again, but eventually left that behind to start running dual sport tours in Spain.
